Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Characters – List of all of the playable characters, villains, and more so far

Intelligent Systems has recently started gradually publishing details about key characters from Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave on the Japanese official social media account for the Fire Emblem series.

As a reminder, Fortune’s Weave has been confirmed taking place in the same universe as Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It will particularly take place in the Dagda continent, which is located to the south of Three Houses’ Fodlan continent (as well as the Brigid archipelago where Petra Macneary came from). One of the characters available in Three Houses, Shamir Nevrand, also originally came from this continent.

We are gradually updating this article with translations of the character biographies—sorted by factions—as Intelligent Systems publish more of them. However, take note that since these translations are based on the Japanese version, some of the terms may differ in the English version due to the localization process. Also be advised that our additional insights may result in several spoilers from Three Houses.

Ribeiran Wind

Cai (Japanese VA: Daiki Yamashita)

An energetic and earnest boy who also cares for his family and lives in the tranquil village of Ribeira. He used to spend peaceful days with his childhood friends, but the wheels of fate would turn on his 15th birthday.

Tiara August (Japanese VA: Maki Kawase)

A childhood friend of the protagonist Cai. An enthusiastic bookworm who has acquired various forms of knowledge despite still being 15 years old.

During battles, Tiara can unleash outstanding support powers to tidy up the battle situations, such as buffing ally stats and healing allies under distress.

Peter (Japanese VA: Kazutomi Yamamoto)

A 15-year-old boy who was raised together with Cai, like they were actual brothers. He has very good eyes that allow him to observe stars even during bright daylight. Even though his archery skills stand out, his gentle and timid personality hinders him from unleashing his true potential.

During battles, Peter will snipe enemies from far away with the Bow, his weapon of expertise. Using a combat art will allow Peter to unleash his personal skill that lets him attack enemies with an even farther range.

House Lamine

Dietrich (Japanese VA: Satoshi Hino)

A beautiful swordsman who continues to desire fights against strong people in order to satiate his own thirst. He is a foreigner who comes from the land of Fodlan, which lies beyond the seas.

Dietrich’s weapon is the magic sword Answerer, which is also considered a Hero’s Relic. During battles, he can use an exclusive technique called Blood Flash (血閃) in Japanese, which makes him more easily able to launch a critical attack with 3x damage.

Favorite things: Things that feel “beautiful”, Sweet food, His own younger sister

*Dietrich’s artwork image includes a mention of him being part of House Lamine, which would also make him a distant relative to FE Three Houses’ Mercedes von Martritz and Jeritza.

Fabio (Japanese VA: Satoshi Yamaguchi)

A missionary of the Church of Seiros who has a lot of mysteries and comes from the faraway land of Fodlan. Though he comes from the same hometown as the protagonist Dietrich, the two of them did not have any prior acquaintances.

Although he is being rational, he has a habit of looking down on other people by calling them “beasts”. However, this does not apply to people who have shown their intelligence regardless of their age, to whom Fabio will instead greet them with appropriate respect.

During battles, Fabio will use a special kind of dark magic that can lower the enemy’s morale.

Favorite things: All kinds of suffering, Conversations with intelligent people

Esmeralda (Japanese VA: Hana Hishikawa)

The daughter of the late fisherman Sinza, who lives in a fishing village on the Dagdan coastal area. She boasts her inconceivable superhuman strength, along with an overflow of wild nature. Dietrich saved her from being sacrificed to a marine beast, and she has followed him ever since.

During battles, Esmeralda will swing Sinza’s Harpoon (Lance) to crush enemies. She has a peculiar power that allows her to lightly wield any weapon, no matter how heavy it is.

Favorite things: Good-looking men, Hitting things with a harpoon, Fishing gear maintenance

*The crest shown on Sinza’s Harpoon wielded by Esmeralda is the Crest of Blaiddyd, which means her family would have the same lineage as FE Three Houses’ Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd.

Lamplight of Megaera

Theodora (Japanese VA: Minami Takayama)

The young queen of the Kingdom of Saramis, which depends on the Dagdan Empire as their suzerain. She is blessed with the qualities of a monarch who stands above people, and she is also determined to face any kind of hardship without ever retreating.

During battles, Theodora can beat enemies with Mahamadu’s Lance, which is said to be wielded by a legendary hero. She can also use the Gambit command, where she borrows the power of her troops to launch a wide-range attack or recovery.

Favorite things: Conflicts, Welfare of the Saramis people

Bonaparte (Japanese VA: Satoshi Tsuruoka)

A wise general who has been serving the Kingdom of Saramis since the previous king’s reign, he is still presently performing at the frontlines as the right-hand man of the protagonist Theodora. Even as the usage of text is forbidden in the kingdom, he has memorized the history of Saramis and all kinds of wisdom, and his words hold certain weight and persuasiveness.

During battles, Bonaparte can deal with various kinds of enemies by switching between Sword and Magic. He can also buff his allies’ stats, which is befitting of his status as an intelligence general.

Favorite things: Memorizing knowledge, Question and answer dialogues with sages, Poetry recitations

Tobias (Japanese VA: Kentaro Tone)

The burly general of Saramis who boasts his power and defense; he calls the Queen Theodora “Milady”. Just like Bonaparte, he had been serving the kingdom since the previous king’s reign and achieved military feats throughout numerous battlefields. However, he is bad at using his own head and cannot quite remember other people’s names.

During battles, Tobias will make good use of his tempered power and solid defense to crush enemies head-on.

As a vestige of that, he also occasionally calls Leda “Princess”. Although he accompanies Leda in her journey of revenge, he also holds mixed feelings about that.

During battles, Buccaneer can prevent enemy attacks from landing with his tenacious body, and he then strikes back at them with the Axe weapon he excels with.

Favorite things: Loyalty, Guidance from promising young people, Fantasizing about Leda’s happiness
